"Maneater" by Hall & Oates was one of the featured songs on this week's presentation from 12/11/82-In an interview with Adam Reader aka "The Professor Of Rock",John Oates said the song was inspired by actress Kelly Le Brock,the wife of action movie star Steven Seagal-John supposedly met Kelly at a dinner party in NYC & she was cussing up a storm.

The 12/11/1982 show had a LDD I thought was strange back when first heard the show in 1982 "Pac-Man Fever" (I was 14 at the time). I still think it's a strange choice to choose that letter.

I found a Casey goof on the QUESTION LETTER on AT40: The 80's 12/11/1982 regarding the top 40 song that clocked in the longest time and shortest time. Though the 8+ minute "American Pie" was correct at the longest time top 40 song (Though it would be broken in 1992 with Guns 'n Roses "November Rain"), Casey thought the song that clocked in the shortest time was "And Get Away" by the Esquires with 1 minute and 6 seconds, but it's actually 2 minutes and 35 seconds!: www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8xHyoScifgI guess the shortest clocked in song to make the top 40 is either by Hailey Mills and Hailey Mills or Duane Eddy. Also on 12/11/1982: Casey apologized that the previous AT40 week in 1982 he called Moving Pictures as a Canadian band instead of being an Australian band.

Has to be one of the fluffiest/most lightweight dedications they ever aired. I liked when they used those kinds of dedications. There were two others I remember, both from 1987. "Word Up" by Cameo was requested for a LDD that had something to do with Scrabble in January of that year. Then, in early September, I guess a girl's friend got a makeover and she looked completely different, so the author requested "Who's That Girl". There were many others, I'm sure, but those are two that stand out in my mind.

Looks like 12/13/1980 is the last regular show of the year.
The weekend of December 23rd, Casey will feature the Chart Date: All Christmas Songs from the 80s!

Doesn't KOLA go all-Christmas that last week before the 25th? Could there still be another 'regular' Premiere offering?

There should be a regular 80's show next weekend for those stations that want a regular show over a holiday show. We just won't know now until early next week instead of today.

Casey never hosted a show made up of “All Christmas Songs From the 80s” (KOLA’s wording), at least that I know of. If they play him at all that weekend presumably it would be one of the holiday countdowns with songs from many different decades.
I guess the following two weekends (last of 2023 and first of 2024) will be taken up with year end countdowns.
